We see social networks are strongly committed to video to share content rather than only with images that have been the most common. Mark Zuckerberg predicted that social networks will be nothing more than videos in 2021, and his function was already implemented months ago as Facebook Live for live video transmissions.
Instagram, owned by Facebook since 2012, launched a major update a few weeks ago and its most important new features are the live video using the new tab “Live”. A few days ago Twitter was updated to allow live video to all users, through the “LIVE” option on the menu to create a new tweet.
Facebook has introduced a new way for publishers to go live – Facebook Live Audio. The social giant, in a blogpost said, “We know that sometimes publishers want to tell a story on Facebook with words and not video.” Facebook Live Audio allows publishers to broadcast live audio such as news radio, interviews and readings for up to 4 hours. Keeping in mind areas where connectivity can be an issue, Facebook said it will alert broadcaster if their signal is low.
“One thing we’ve heard is that partners want new formats for going live. We announced Live 360 last week, and today we’re excited to announce another way to go live on Facebook,” they added.
How The LIVE Audio Feature Works
For anybody running iOS, it will be conceivable to keep sound playing while perusing different parts of Facebook. There is no compelling reason to stay on the post when you just need the audio. Be that as it may, things are surprisingly better for Android clients as it will be conceivable to explore out of the application and keep the sound playing while getting on with different things.
The live audio transmissions begin to be available right now for some radio networks, but Facebook announced that Live Audio will get progressively over the next 2017 for all users. So, for now, you can simply follow the first programs to be transmitted.
Also, users of Android have the option to listen to these audios in the background even when the phone is locked, or the screen is off – thanks to integration with audio API. Facebook Live Audio can be a success if we consider that many users do not like to appear on video, but they would be encouraged to do so only with audio.
